I See

  • 3 guys looking terrified on top of a pot however the guy in the middle just looks angry (germany)
  • seems like the 2 guys in the back are cooking the guys in the pot
  • Balkan troubles title
  • Actually the three guys seem to be trying to keep the "troubles" from spilling out of the pot by sitting on it however it does not seem to be working
  • They are all wearing military caps pertaining to their country ex: Germany in the back

It means

  • 3 guys= Triple Entente
  • 2 guys= triple alliance
  • Assassination in hungry
  • The European tensions focused on Balkan society increasing world and European concern
  • unable to control erratic works of nationalism
  • France, Germany, Europe, Austria, Russia, (italy)

How does the introduction relate to the causes of WWI?
  • Extends makings of agreements between all alliances "the day of secret covenants entered into in the interest of particular governments and likely at some unlooked-for moment to upset the peace of the world" saying that this self was the reason for the war in the first place
  • Key forms of Nationalsim
  • General peace "Central Empires have indicated their desire to discuss the objects of the war and the possible basis of a general peace"

What does Wilson suggest was the reason for American entry into the war?

  • The need to correct violation of rights "violations of right had occurred which touched us"
  • To make sure that there was enough peace for the protection and well being of the people
  • Generally we Americans are conceited people who wish to conform the rest of the world into their known " fair and just" society so we come into the war as a campaign promotion of how great our own country is (strongly opinionated)
  • Need to help Russia
  • International competition
  • spread of self determination

How would you summarize the main objectives of the 14 Points?

  • Open negotiations with all regions in forms of peace leaving no room for division
  • Evacuation and restorations of all corrupt nations within the war
  • readjustment of borderlines and frontiers
  • Fight against imperialist people and ideas

How might the colonies of Britain and France react to the 14 points?

  • I feel that they would totaly agree with the methods of the 14 points because all their needs are supported to the extent that it seems that the war never happend for them in the first place, and with open border lines and negotiations that just leaves room for them to contiune on their colonoializations and emeriging alliances while their opposing side is down in readjustments and reforms.
"The evacuation of all Russian territory and such a settlement of all questions affecting Russia as will secure the best and freest cooperation of the other nations of the world" (6) leaving the doors open in the communicating with no real intrest in the well being of that open nation
  • must take in to consideration as to who is reading this such as merchants may have more to benefit however with the condition of a trancparacy gov.
  • Independence
